Step 10: Add the headers to the top PCB.

get 3 rows of 16 MALE headers and 1 row of 4 MALE headers, we'll be mounting these on one of our PCBs.

First off we need to modify them a bit, pushing the black plastic piece that holds all the pins together right to the very end of the pins, make sure they don't fall off.

Once you've done that, find a proper place to put them in the top board, the exact place is not critical, but try to place them near the edges and make sure they won't obstruct any hole needed by the cube (see next step for more on this) and then push them all the way in and solder ALL the pins from the other side, the 4 pin header will be positioned right at the edge of the board, but don't do that just yet, as we are going to place it in any free space we find left (more on this later).
